Appeals
Carlos Blanco, 1/7/97, VFA-0248
The DOE denied an appeal of a determination issued under the
Freedom of Information Act. In that determination, portions of a fact-
finder's report prepared on behalf of a DOE attorney were withheld. DOE
found that the information was properly withheld under Exemption 6 and
the deliberative process and witness statement privileges of Exemption
5.
Request for Exception
Thomas Oil Co., 1/7/97, VEE-0032
Thomas Oil Company filed an Application for Exception from the
Energy Information Administration requirement that it file Form EIA-
782B, the ``Resellers'/Retailers'' Monthly Petroleum Product Sales
Report.'' In considering Thomas's request, the DOE found that the firm
was not experiencing any type of hardship or gross inequity.
Accordingly, exception relief was denied.
Refund Application

The DOE granted a Motion for Reconsideration filed by Richards Gulf
Service (Richards) in the Gulf Oil Corporation overcharge refund
proceeding conducted under 10 C.F.R. Part 205, Subpart V. DOE
originally
[[Page 4757]]
dismissed Richards'' Application for Refund because the firm had not
responded to a request to submit a copy of the application with the
owner's original signature. Soon after the application was dismissed,
DOE received a copy of the application with the original signature of
the owner's widow, who is also the administrator of the owner's estate.
Since Richards responded to DOE's request as quickly as it was able to,
DOE granted the Motion for Reconsideration.
